A nuclear fusion experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has set a record for the strongest steady magnetic field confining a plasma, ushering in new hope that forthcoming demonstration ...

Demonstrates how electricity can be produced from magnets through various experiments. It explains that electric currents can create magnetic effects, forming electromagnets that only work while ...

Though predicted to exist, magnetic monopoles — hypothetical elementary particles with only one magnetic pole — have never been detected by scientists.

In their experiment, which is called POLONAISE (Probing Oscillations using Levitated Objects for Novel Accelerometry In Searches of Exotic physics), the Rice and Leiden physicists levitated a tiny ...

As flexible PCBs become cheaper and easier to order from low-scale fab houses, we’re seeing hobbyists experiment with new uses for them such as [Carl Bugeja]’s jumping circuit.

Funky mirror turns electric field into a magnetic field with missing pole The mirror image of a frozen electric charge becomes a magnetic monopole.

An experiment has revealed an unlikely behavior in a class of materials called frustrated magnets, addressing a long-debated question about the nature of these discontented quantum materials. The ...
